Title: Susie Bobber Project
Post by holiveira on 05/18/12 at 17:13:05

Hi,
I'm from Lisbon, Portugal and I recently got my Susie ('92 Savage).
I really like the bobber look.
I've been doing some work on it with the help of my good friends from Rocksolid Motorcycles (rocksolidmotorcycles.blogspot.com)
I'm gonna be posting some pics.
This first picture is from the day I got the bike, it came with this lovelly bags. ;D
Give us your opinion.
Thanks

This is what I have as inspiration.
Let's see if I manage to get it this fine.

Hi again.
In this early stage I began to desassemble the rear to make it look better.
I'm already waiting for a few things from the internet.
Any sugestions? :)

Next step...... change the handlebars. I bought a used HD dragbar and mounted it, unfortunatelly because it's a litle bit curved I don't have stearing clearance, so, I had to leave it facing up. It looks bad, but at least it can be riden. Need a solution for this, any sugestions?

Bullhorn handle bars!

You can make risers from anything with a hole thru it, 3/4" deep sockets work well.

Longer risers would let you run those handlebars normally.

Enjoy the build. :)
